North Lancing Uniform
A school uniform dress code is implemented at North Lancing as it is felt that wearing matching clothing helps students feel connected to their group of peers and a part of the school community. The number of school branded items has been reduced to decrease cost. Uniform adaptions can be made for pupils with sensory needs. These can be discussed with the reception office or SEND team.
